Restoring Old backup catalogs

I have an issue with restoring jobs. My "Tech Supervisor" unistalled then
reinstalled BE8.6. I tried to do a restore of lost info and it wouldn't do
it. The old catalogs are still available in the same location, but I don't
know how to restore the old catalogs. Could someone please help me with this
problem?

Try Cataloging the Device(Tape) and then select the restore option from the
device. (Right Click the Tape and select restore.)

Re: Restoring Old backup catalogs

stop all BENT services
copy the *.U01 files to the new catalog directory
delete the BETOPCAT.IDX file in that directory
restart the services

All you previous catalogs should now show in the Restore Pane
